Can't wait to return to try more of the plates. Great service (so quick), unbelievably lovely staff who's names I didn't catch but the 2 ladies working 24/05 around 7-9pm you were both so attentive and polite! All the food was gorgeous, unfortunately we were too busy tucking in to the millions of plates that kept coming but everything was well portioned and we were all absolutely stuffed when sharing 9 plates between 3 of us. Drinks were lovely too.

Right people if I could I would give this place more stars. Firstly the staff are brilliant and made us feel more than welcome. Secondly the food we had was excellent with a great choice of tapas. I really could talk about it all night. Please visit and you can thank me later....

Been trying to get here for a long time - I was not disappointed!! I love everything about this place. The Tapas set up really suited me because when I saw the menu I wanted to try everything. My favourites were the steak and the croquettes. Churros were to die for too. Everything had a beautiful mix of flavours and textures which made the meal really interesting. My friend enjoyed her sangria too The interior is like stepping into another world a bit - another country and another time, maybe only 50 years back. Its cosy but interesting, lots to look at and the vibe makes you want to stay and relax a while with your friends and good chat. Very popular so must book. Highly recommend

Excellent food and atmosphere. Make sure you call up and book as on a busy night you may not be able to walk in. A member of the table was vegan and asked which potatas bravas was vegan, as they both looked the same. Server did not know and was about to put it down until we asked. Also the chef asked her if she was okay with yeast. It came across a bit passive aggressive. More training and understanding needed with vegan customers.

This unassuming little Tapas restaurant on the outskirt of Newcastle was absolutely divine. Everything from the atmosphere to the drinks, the food, to the staff was perfect and your couldn't have ask for more. Excellent selection of food and drinks, very fast delivery and most importantly personal service. Charlie was extremely helpful with her advice regarding the food and drink and also gave us recommendations for the next day breakfast which also has not disappointed. Highly recommended and we will make it our mission to book a reservation the next time we are up in Newcastle.

Right, so we had two flies in the red sangria that was later charged after the waitress was aware of them. The paella is supposed to have flavours? But it was unbelievably bland, so as the white bait fish. The only good thing we liked was the potato bravas. For the excellent reviews, we were expecting great quality.

When you have the British weather keeping you down, this place can take you to Spain and you don't even have to get on a plain with Screaming kids. The food, service and atmosphere in Boquerones is outstanding. Completely recommended there's food and drink choices for everyone and if you mispronounce everything on the menu you aren't made a fool of. Hidden in plain sight on Heaton Road, this should be a meal/drink stop for anyone, be it something just before that early afternoon siesta or before hitting the town. Come for the food, keep coming back for the atmosphere and experience.

What can I say, phenomenal from start to finish. We were greeted with champagne for our anniversary and a really warm welcome. The tapas is delicious, get the creme brulee afterwards it's gorgeous. The service is the best around. The decor is beautiful and we felt so relaxed in the restaurant. We felt like we'd been a hundred times with the warm welcome. They make you feel like family. We had Asif serving us and he was fantastic and we can't wait to come back.

Amazing authentic tapas in this quaint Heaton restaurant. Everything we had was off the highest quality but the croquettes and prawns stole the show for me. Along with some excellent sangria. It should be said the prices are high especially for the area but it’s certainly a case here of getting what you pay for

What a fabulous restaurant! What amazing food! I was a bit nervous abour what to order since I don't have tapas regularly but the staff were helpful and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and had a really relaxed experience. If you're anywhere nearby go! Booking recommended though!

This place is excellent and the only Spanish Tapas restaurant in Newcastle I would take my family. Definitely up to standards with Spanish cuisine! Great food, great cocktails, nice atmosphere and good service with good prices for the quality. Being from Spain, I can safely say this place does really good Spanish food and not the usual knock off like the rest :)

Beautiful and authentic tapas. Each dish was beautiful, but the butterbean and garlic spread with Serrano ham was stunning!
5/5 Aaron 1 year ago on Google
I adore this place. I've been twice so far; once with a friend and another with a larger group, and the food and margaritas were 10/10 both times. The service is friendly, the cocktails are tasty, the food is amazing, and the prices are reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

Very good tapas and friendly, attentive service! We had a lovely meal here, the albondigas (meatballs) and tostado were stars of the show, absolutely delicious. It’s a cosy little place to have a meal and the staff are super friendly.

Excellent service and very nice food - the tapas steak was particularly good, it couldn’t fault any of it. Even the Boquerones fish, though not to our taste, was very good value and an experience! Would highly recommend!

Lovely little place. The service was excellent and the good was delicious. Our favourite was the sweet potato croquetas. Very reasonably priced and a nice atmosphere. It was very warm downstairs but it is summer!

Visiting Newcastle for GNR and found this delightful restaurant on TripAdvisor with excellent reviews, it didn’t disappoint. The service was fantastic, Asif was genuinely welcoming. Gorgeous food and a great atmosphere, sadly I don’t live locally or I would back again soon.
